Still Here

by jackie on July 19, 2010

Quick update, to explain my long absence.

I’m pregnant. Very pregnant. Only wearing muumuus now pregnant. Waddling like a penguin pregnant. EJ is also obsessed with the computer, which drastically reduces the amount of time I can spend here. So we’ve been enjoying a leisurely, half-step-out-of-time-with-the-rest-of-the-world sort of summer… gardening, berry picking, pie baking, spending afternoons at the playground or the pool. Trying to prevent him from flushing the toilet at every turn.

Baby is due in 6 weeks. I’m hoping for 4, my doula cautions me to think 8 the better to avoid disappointment.

Expect pictures of the new arrival here, when he decides to make his appearance.

The final 6 weeks are like that final turn in a race and looking down the straightaway. I remember it well with my second who was 3 weeks late. You need a gate for the bathroom it sounds like. Glad you’re having a great summer! Can’t wait to meet your new little guy!

I know you wrote this 2 weeks ago, so please let me wish you a happy 2-6 weeks left of this pregnancy! I hope you’re doing well and can’t wait to hear that he’s arrived safe and sound (and that you are doing okay!).

As you wrote this on July 19 and it is now August 18, I am hoping that you were right on the money with your wish to have baby a bit early. HOpe you can post soon the results!! Looking forward to hearing the news…
